Okay, so I’ve been sleeping on these Normandy linen sheets for 8 weeks now, and here’s the real tea:
• First wash was ROUGH – like sleeping on burlap sacks. But after 3-4 washes? Magic. They transformed into that crinkly-soft linen feel I paid for. Pro tip: Add white vinegar in the rinse cycle!
• The dark green color is STUNNING – like forest moss. Doesn’t fade even after my aggressive laundry habits (oops).
• Temperature control is LEGIT. Woke up sweat-free during a heatwave, yet cozy when our AC went berserk. My partner (human furnace) finally stopped stealing all the blankets.
• Deep pockets actually fit our 14” mattress WITH a topper. No more midnight sheet wrestling matches!
• Pillowcases gave me weird bedhead at first, but now my hair has less breakage? Unexpected win.
Cons: • Wrinkles like a grandpa’s forehead – embrace the rustic vibe. • Price made me gasp, but divided by nights of perfect sleep? Worth.
Final verdict: 4.8/5 – loses points for the break-in period. Would buy again (maybe during Prime Day next time 😉)
